What are some of the LMM funds with a decent work life balance (~45 hr weeks), good people and an overall healthy firm culture. Don’t mind putting in the hours when there’s a deal but don’t want to be working 80 hour work weeks as a routine anymore.

I work LMM and average maybe 50hrs

Worked in PE for two years at UMM. Feel fairly confident this exists but is incredibly rare. If it does exists, it’s a regional PE firm that hasn’t and isn’t planning to grow AUM with a central rainmaker you can source proprietary deals. And in this set up - there’s certainly no need for more deal leads aka no upward trajectory.

Just think about the industry. It’s a transaction based industry. You’re chasing deal that are becoming more public and more competitive. No PE firm at the table with deal bid deadlines will be like “Do due diligence but only at 45 hours a week pace”.

OP said 80 hours during deal timeline.

That model only works if the firm has no growth aspirations and want to do 1-2 deal a year (lots of frog kissing before transaction execution even if you know the CEO/founder). In that case, you have to question whether this model is for you too

Doesn’t exist. Stay in consulting

Good call

Honest question, has anyone figured out where works 45 hr weeks?! Other than hourly jobs, all of my friends and peers from college work 50+ hours regardless of industry, level, etc. And another of those who are in finance/consulting, work a minimum of 55, but that’s mostly on a slow week.

The people I know who have this are at smaller companies in low growth industries (think building products, industrials, trucking, etc.). Comp is low, but have a friend who actually works maybe 15-20 hours a week, with no Skype / Teams so no requirement to constantly be on his computer

Curious as to how many deals at once is typical for a first year associate to take on (M&A, mostly private equity clients). Deal size is lower middle market and I’ve worked on deals ranging from $1-$110M. 2 deals at once is plenty for me, but it seems like my peers are able to take on more than that at once and still do fine. Maybe I’m just a slow learner/out of my league at the big law firm I’m at.
